It was 4 when the show let out and our dinner ressies at Y&Y were at 5 but DH was so tired and it was insanely hot so we wanted to try and get in early. They sat us right away in the room with the windows to the left of the entrance. This was the best location because we watched the entire Jungle Parade, and the huge storm whip in.

We've never seen the parade @ AK, because we're never there that long. If I knew we could see it from Y&Y, I'd go ahead & make yet another ADR. The promise of food would convince my guys to hang around a bit longer. This is the 1st time I've read that watching the parade from there was a possibility. Great tip! What do you think our chances are of getting a table with a parade view? Would 4pm be the magic hour for the ADR?

I'm looking forward to your Tony's review. We're going there for the 1st time in October hoping for a Spectro view. If not, I've always wanted to see the inside of the restaurant.

Your meal at Spoodles looked great. How strong could you taste the lemon? I'm thinking I would like it better w/o it. For some reason, I don't like the seafood & lemon combo.

Like everyone else, I must try the sparkling vodka from France. What size was the bottle? I'm sure it wasn't 375 ml. If it were, it would have cost much more at Epcot. I'm looking forward to hearing what others think about it.

DH and I never stick around AK long either, we usually go early and leave early but I was determined to try Y&Y. At 4 pm the restaurant was dead, we were on the window side by the parade and there was only 2 other tables dining with us. It was great, it was a first for us to see the parade, the Nemo show and try Y&Y.

I am not a lemon girl either, dont like to squeeze it on seafood and dont like it in tea and there was a pretty big lemon presence in the shrimp dish but I really liked it alot, it went well with the garlic, helped tone down the garlic a bit and the garlic helped ease up on the lemon.

I cannot wait to try Tony's, I promise to take a lot of pics of that one too and post as soon as we get home....we like to get home before 3 so we can get some rest before going back to work....chill out time after power walking theme parks

Thanks for more great reviews. Was there any way to sample the pretty pink vodka at the stand?

You are welcome! I didnt investigate it more, I wish I did...the sign read $15 so I assume that is for the bottle? They did have a bunch in the cooler behind the counter but they were all sealed. We are going back in August so I fully intend to check it out more thoroughly

And may I add that we expect a live update on this subject in particular!

The Food looks great, I have ressies and I hope it is great, the bread looks good and so did the oil with the herbs come with the meal or do you have to purchase it, If there is anything else you would like to share I am all ears
